Razionale
Immunotherapy meets Lung Cancer:
New treatments for non small cell lung cancer and 3rd International cancer vaccine meeting
Non small cell lung cancer is the most common malignant disease worldwide and often is
accompanied by concomitant diseases and severe complications. The prognosis of those patients
who cannot undergo radical surgery is poor, with a survival that barely is longer than 12 months.
New treatments are however, continuously entering in the clinical practice of these patients,
including small molecules with specific molecular targets and immunotherapy. The correct use of
these new drugs and biological agents therefore, requires the knowledge of molecular biology,
antitumor immunology, new diagnostic techniques and pathology. Often their prescription needs
multiple and complex interdisciplinary interactions. This meeting offers the possibility to understand
the new modalities of treatment and care of lung cancer patients, to promote interdisciplinary
interactions, and to define the mechanisms of action and the rationale behind of the use of the
most recent drugs. The combined meeting finally, will attempt to make a light on the development
of immunotherapy strategies in the treatment of these patients and to track a new way for the
design of new therapeutic combination strategies.

A. Personal Statement
I am the Founder and President of RedoxTherapies, Inc. (Redox) that is advancing the conceptually novel
treatment of cancer based on technology that I created while a Lab Chief in intramural NIAID/NIH
(1984-2004) for the conceptually novel use and re-purposing of the synthetic A2A adenosine
receptor (A2AR) antagonists, including V2006. This technology and Method-of-use Patent is
licensed to Redox by NIH with a charge to translate it into cancer therapies.
I believe that Redox is a good choice to collaborate with NCI in the clinical development of A2AR antagonist
V2006. Redox is well-suited to orchestrate the clinical solution of the elusive complex problem of improving
tumor rejection by immunotherapies and standard-of -are chemotherapies of cancer.
This is because my lifelong work (1974-present) to study the immunogenic and poorly-immunogenic
tumors resulted in the discovery of the major “hypoxia-A2A-adenosinergic” tumor-protecting mechanism
and the A2A adenosine receptor targeting treatments to overcome tumor’s defense.
My team is credited with uncovering that it is the tumor’s hypoxia-driven generation of extracellular
adenosine, which then signals through tissue-protecting immunosuppressive A2AR to inhibit incoming antitumor T and Natural Killer cells (Nature, 2001; PNAS, 2006).
This understanding led us to introduce several new types of anti-cancer drugs that work by re-programing
the tumor microenvironment (TME) away from tumor-protection and toward tumor-suppression. We call
these drugs “anti-hypoxia-A2A-adenosinergic co-adjuvants” because they enhance immune response by
preventing the constitutive inhibition of the immune response. Fortuitously, these drugs are already
available since they were developed for other diseases and this proposal is designed to accelerate their repurposing for cancer vaccines as the most immediate application. As a “bonus” these drugs also weaken all
other known biochemical (Cox-2) and immunological tumor-protecting mechanisms (e.g. CTLA-4/PD1).
We also recently published the conceptually novel medical use of anti-hypoxic respiratory hyperoxia (i.e.
breathing 60% oxygen) to lower the levels of adenosine in the TME, inhibit tumor protection, and make
tumors vulnerable to immunotherapies of cancer especially if this will combined with V2006. This will
further improve the clinical efficacy of V2006.
I am perfectly prepared for this collaboration with NCI because of my background and my past and ongoing
experience in administering Redox, my Institute, my appointment in Dana Farber Cancer Institute at
Harvard my and my scientific projects. I know how to have effectively communicate with others and to
develop a realistic plan, timeline, and budget. Redox has all that is needed to succeed in this collaboration
with NCI, including the unique insights, supportive and enthusiastic clinician scientists and the necessary
expertise

VISUALIZZA SCHEDA RICERCA
Il Prof. Pierosandro Tagliaferri, nato a Napoli il 20.12.1956, è
straordinario di Oncologia Medica (MED/06) dal dicembre
2006. In precedenza aveva rivestito il ruolo di professore
associato, sempre nello stesso settore disciplinare dal
novembre 1998 in questo Ateneo e ancora precedentemente
di funzionario tecnico di VIII livello presso l’Università Federico
II di Napoli. Il Prof. Tagliaferri ha svolto attività di ricerca per
un periodo complessivo di 3 anni presso il National Cancer
Institute di Bethesda, dal 1983 al 1987. Le attività di ricerca
oncologiche, concretizzate da oltre 100 pubblicazioni su
prestigiose riviste internazionali e dalla presentazione a
congressi di rilievo nazionale ed internazionale, nonché
dall’acquisizione di finanziamenti per le attività di ricerca
stesse, sono basate su un approccio di ricerca traslazionale
che integra le moderne acquisizioni molecolari e le nuove
tecnologie con i criteri metodologici della medicina basata
sull’evidenza. In particolare l’attività di ricerca in ambito preclinico e clinico si è basata sullo studio di citochine antitumorali, sull’impiego di farmaci a bersaglio molecolare,
sull’identificazione di vie di survival e su approcci per la
definizione di trattamenti antitumorali individualizzati sulle
caratteristiche bio-molecolari delle neoplasie.

Kwong Yok Tsang, Ph.D.
Senior Associate Scientist
Laboratory of Tumor Immunology and Biology
Head, Cellular Immunology Group
Dr. Tsang is a Senior Associate Scientist and Head of the Cellular Immunology Group in the Laboratory of Tumor
Immunology and Biology, NCI. He received his Ph.D. in microbiology from Bowling Green State University,
Bowling Green, OH. Dr. Tsang's research interests are in cellular immunotherapy; tumor immunology; cancer
vaccines; CTL epitopes. The Cellular Immunology Group studies the role of the human immune response to
tumor-associated antigens. We are working to define and develop immunodominant peptide epitopes and
modifications of these toward the optimal activation of human immune responses to tumor-associated antigens
(TAAs). Additionally, we are involved in studying mechanisms to enhance the potency of antigen-presenting cells
for specific Tcell activation and to decrease the suppressive effects of regulatory T-cells. We are also developing
immunologic methods and immunoassays to better define the patients' immune responses to vaccines, standard
of care therapy, and immune checkpoint inhibitors. The goals are to find suitable biomarkers for prediction of
response to immunotherapy and for monitoring of patients during and after immunotherapy. In addition, we are
investigating a monoclonal anti-PD-L1 antibody known to mediate ADCC.
John W. Greiner, Ph.D.
Staff Scientist
Laboratory of Tumor Immunology and Biology
Head, Cytokine Group
Dr. Greiner is a Staff Scientist and Head of the Cytokine Group in the Laboratory of Tumor Immunology and
Biology, NCI. He received his Ph.D. in Physiology and Biophysics from West Virginia University, Morgantown, WV.
Dr. Greiner's research interests are in cancer vaccines and immune adjuvants. The Cytokine Group studies the
interactions of cytokines and T cell checkpoint inhibitors on the different arms of the immune system to optimize
antitumor responses to recombinant vaccines and monoclonal antibody therapy. We are working to define novel
strategies for the delivery and use of cytokines and T cell checkpoint inhibitors as biologic adjuvants and
immunotherapeutics. Additionally, we are involved in the development of new animal models for the analysis of
new vaccines and vaccine strategies.
